Would 128GB be enough for Logic pro x ?

Hey everyone, i just found this forum and i thought i could find the answer here as google is not helpful at all :/

I would like to buy a Macbook pro for music production and the thing is that i dont know if 128GB of HDD would be enough for Logic and virtual instruments (Synthesisers, sample packs, audio files, etc) i will be using Logic very intensively with multiple audio/midi tracks, multiple virtual instruments being open at once and lots of automation etc.

Originally, i wanted to go for the 15'' Macbook as i seen it for £1600, but as a student i gotta save money, therefore i customized the 13'' in a way that is £200 cheaper but includes 16Gb of ram and the I7 processor which i think is essential for intensive production.

I just cant get my head around the HDD size, im sure the actual operating system and programs like logic pro takes some of the space already.
Could the speed also be affected by the HDD ?

The i7 will make no difference to you it's just a slightly faster dual core processor with an extra 1mb on cache not worth the money to upgrade, the ram is needed for lots of tacks etc though. I would say you would struggle with less 512gb to be honest.
